Thousands of people massed around Wall Street to mark the Occupy Wall Street movement's two-month anniversary Thursday, blocking streets and in some instances clashing with police, as similar protests popped up around the country.

Protesters paraded through Lower Manhattan, and 177 people were arrested as they crowded intersections near the New York Stock Exchange, brokerage houses and banks. Seven police officers and 10 protesters were injured, according to New York City officials.

Police at some locations checked identification before allowing workers to cross onto Wall Street.

You also don't have to be in the 99% to not like the way things are going.'

Thursday's protest activities began after 7 a.m., as a crowd gathered around Zuccotti Park. Organizers called on supporters to march from there to Wall Street.
